Will it work? Time will tell. Thoughts? ;)

I dont know but it would be cool to own.

*Cough* Cool to own? This thing's a multi-million dollar piece of carbon fiber and kevlar.
Though some exceptionally rough seas made things a bit messy (http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/05/the-toilet-brok.html) in the boat recently.
Still, better than their previous attempts, which were stalled when first) the Colombian navy fired on them, damaging their propellers, and second) they slammed into a fishing boat, injuring one man and losing another at sea (the Earthrace's skip went in after him, but couldn't get to him fast enough).

The Colombian Navy probably took one look at it and thought it was one of those old Soviet submarines used for smuggling. The design on this thing looks way more like a sub or a spaceship than any kind of normal boat I've seen. Very sweet piece of engineering.

Hi fellas! This boat came through Hawaii and I got a private tour on it. I hope to have some pics and video up soon. They also said that they were putting together a documentry and Skywatcher and I would be on it. :)

No Fair! And you didn't Invite any of us!? For Shame! :p Was it cool!?

It was sooo cool! Wait till you see the video. I'll try and send one to you :)
AND......we didn't know it was coming into Honolulu until the last minute. They said it was supposed to be a covert stop.
